December 3rd 2003 Appeal to Court of Appeals - gambit reliant on Civil law for appeal appeal of right to Court of Appeals.

December 11th, 2002 Remand by Appellate Term (Same inferior court judges as the Grucci decision; judge Doyle blocked the Montauk Trustee case against the Brooklyn Historical Society. It is distressing to be confronted with the same politicized lower court judges with appellate court powers! This will change if the charters are upheld.)
